Seems that the main difference between the b17 and team pro is that the pro is narrower... am i wrong about this? This can be it's own thread.
I'm not absolutely sure about this, but IIRC, Brooks uses a thicker leather for the Pro than for the B17. And there are different versions of the B17 as well. One has the small rivets, while the other has the same larger rivets that come on their more expensive models like the Pro and the Swift. I'd love to have a Swift, but that's just too much $$ at one time right now.
